What Patients Commonly Share About Their Experience at Yinstill
Across years of patient feedback and shared reflections, a few themes come up consistently:
- More than clinical care: many describe feeling steadied, supported, and held – especially during uncertainty, loss, or major transitions.
- A calm, welcoming environment: people often notice the atmosphere and the intentional pace of care.
- Feeling safe and oriented: from the physical space to how appointments unfold, patients commonly feel respected, grounded, and clearly guided.
- Whole-person support: many share that they’re met as a whole individual – not reduced to symptoms, diagnoses, or timelines.
- Relational and consistent care: patients often describe a steady practitioner relationship, with care that adapts as needs evolve.
- Shifts beyond the physical: some reflect on changes in emotional wellbeing, self-trust, and confidence in their bodies over time.
- A steady place to return to: for some, Yinstill becomes a consistent support during a particularly tender chapter of life.

I can’t even describe what an incredible experience I had with Spence, both in terms of the person, and the treatment I received
He came very highly recommended to help deal with an fertility problem my wife and I were having and quickly morphed into a total body and mind experience. I felt so incredible after each treatment,
A true asset to the birthing community
I worked with Harris through the whole pregnancy cycle: conception through post-partum.
I first sought treatment with Harris after a couple years of trying to conceive. At my first appointment Harris began to share his wealth of knowledge about conception and I received my first acupuncture treatment.
After suffering 3 miscarriages…
I came to see Dr. Pentland at the recommendation of a friend, after suffering 3 miscarriages. I was at the lowest point in my life and feeling very depressed and pessimistic about the future. At the very first meeting,
Not pregnant but you made such a difference in my life…
I want to thank you so much for all your care and attention to my treatment, I know it has made a big difference, and in particular in the last few months, you are truly gifted in knowing what people need,
Insomnia and Digestive Health improvements
I am happy to be referred by my close friend to Yinstill Reproductive Wellness. My health concerns were addressed and improved my digestive health and insomnia.
Sean is patient with me and listened to all of my health concerns and I followed a good treatment plan for about a month.
I felt more energized and better muscle recovery
Every pregnancy is different and doesn’t always come easy. This ran true for myself, when my husband and I were on a mission to add another bundle of joy to our family. I thought that since getting pregnant the first time was easy – we barely even tried – didn’t even bother with ovulation kits or tracking or anything – so naturally I thought that this time wouldn’t be any different.
Someone I will continue to see throughout my pregnancy and beyond
When my partner and I decided to start on our journey of conception, we were excited about the prospect of having a child as well as the intimate, joyful process that goes along with making that happen.
Healthy Baby Boy!
Before visiting Spence, I felt so alone, frustrated, disappointed and sad every month when my cycle would start yet again. Almost all my friends, family and close co-workers were pregnant / having babies. I was surrounded by all these lucky people who didn’t have any problems conceiving so it was hard to find someone to talk to who really understood the ups and downs of what I was going through.
I am now a believer in the benefits and power of acupuncture as part of the fertility journey.
I was doing acupuncture treatments sporadically at another location in preparation for IVF treatment but with the first 3 IVF transfers being unsuccessful. With the fourth try, I asked our fertility clinic for referral and got referred to Yinstill with acupuncture sessions by Lara.
Deeply knowledgeable and sincerely caring
Deeply knowledgeable and sincerely caring, Dr. Fisher and the team at Yinstill have been wonderful.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reproductive wellness professionals.
